Saffron

Saffron isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, but it stands out in Austin for its clear gluten-free menu markings and a staff that’s genuinely attentive to celiac safety. Several celiac diners report feeling comfortable after repeated visits, thanks in part to transparent communication and a willingness to prepare dishes separately when needed. The kitchen offers a wide range of naturally gluten-free Indian and Nepalese options—think fragrant curries, sizzling tandoori meats, and that crispy papad which makes you almost forget about naan. While shared kitchen risks remain (especially with wheat breads around), the combination of labeled menus, allergy-awareness at ordering, and even a dedicated fryer for some items helps take the edge off dining-out nerves.
